Description

If you laugh, weep, or have foot pain when have an orgasm, you are not the only one. But, since it’s not a topic that generally comes up in casual conversation, you may think you are the only one, and end up spending a lot of time explaining to your partner that you are not laughing at them, and if you burst into tears post orgasm, you are not necessarily unhappy.  What you may be experiencing is peri-orgasmic phenomenon. 

In this episode, I discuss:

The difference between a normal orgasmic response and peri orgasmic phenomenon

PHYSICAL manifestations of peri-orgasmic phenomenon

EMOTIONAL manifestations of peri-orgasmic phenomenon
Things associated with sexual activity that is NOT considered to be a peri-orgasmic phenomenon
Incontinence
Pelvic or clitoral pain with orgasm  
Sexual headache and orgasmic headache
Female ejaculation and squirting 



When a sexual headache may be an indication of a serious problem
Results of my research on peri-orgasmic phenomenon


If you have an unusual physical or emotional response when you have an orgasm, please take my anonymous 2-minute Survey.
